As Israel continues to bombard Gaza in the wake of Hamas’ Oct. 7 massacre, emotions are running high—and halfway around the world, it’s taking a toll on cross-cultural and interfaith friendships. “People I’ve talked with on either side of this conflict have told me they feel particularly sensitive right now,” Aymann Ismail writes. He spoke to people who have thought about how to navigate these interactions for a long time and offers some tips about how to get through it.

And in case you missed it: Ismail spoke to a Palestinian former Knesset member about the delicate politics of representing Arab Israelis, and to an Amnesty International investigator about the horrifying situation unfolding on the ground in Gaza.
